OLD RIVER ROAD AD-HOC TASK FORCE
January 5, 1998 Meeting - 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.
Lake Oswego City Hall - Human Resources Conference Room
Members Present: Sister Eileen Brown, Co-Chair, Mike Anderson, Co-Chair, Michael P.
Lammers, Duane Funk, Jamie M. Ellgen, Judy Dauble, Kelly Atwood, Marcia Robertson,

Staff: Ron Bunch, Lake Oswego Long Range Planning Manager and Gordon Howard,

Others: Donna Zajonc, Richard Porn,Jerry Lublink, Gloria Bence, John Fregonese, and
Sandy Carter
I. Introductions, Statements of Interests and Issues
The members introduced themselves and discussed generally their interest in serving on
the Committee. It was stated that the road in the mid 1800's was one of the main roads
on the west side of the Willamette River and the convent of the Sisters on the Holy
Names had been oriented to the River. The Sisters had journeyed up the river and entered
on the riverside of the convent building. It is important from the Sisters' perspective to
develop a long-range vision of the future of the road and the Order's lands which border
it.
The road borders a significant portion of Marlyhurst University's property along its
undeveloped edge. The river front lands, the road lands impart a significant contribution
to the character of the campus. Any change to the character of the road will also change
the character of the campus.
Old Town Neighborhood has interest in the future of the road and desires to ensure its
best use. The neighborhood has experience of living with a park and the process of
compromise for both residential and recreational land uses to co-exist with one-another.
Residents of Glenmorrie have been informally polled regarding the road and expressed
concerns with the volume of traffic on the road, the need to maintain the character and
livability of residential streets, the speed of traffic, preservation of a buffer area between
the road and residential property and protection of natural resources. There is concern
about the outright prohibition of road closure. The question was discussed of whether
this precludes temporary closures to through traffic such as on weekends, so the road can
be primarily used for recreational walking and sightseeing. Additional discussion
focused on safety, especially the speed of traffic --especially trucks, and the danger
posed for walkers. Maintenance of views for property owners and those who use the road
for recreational walking and exercise was identified as important.
r
• • •
The road also represents an important connection for West Linn residents to Lake
Oswego, especially for school buses. The transportation interests of both West Linn and
the City of Lake Oswego are important to consider in this process because both share a
boundary. Neighborhood quality of life in both communities is important. Connectivity
between the two communities is also important. There may be a lot that can be done to
address traffic calming. The Task Force should acquire good examples of traffic calming
and consider them for use on Old River Road.
The road presents real challenges for siting a pathway because of small narrow shoulders,
the topography, natural resources and the interests of state and federal regulatory
agencies. Further, the road is dangerous as evidenced by deaths of numerous pets and
wild animals caused by cars. The need to protect animals and wildlife must be addressed.
II. Future Meeting Dates and Times
It was determined by general consensus that future meeting dates will be the first
Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. The next meeting will be February 3, 1999 at 6:30
p.m. at City Hall.
III. Review and Discussion of Charge Statement and Process and Work Program
and Schedule
Sister Eileen Brown began discussion of the City Council's charge statement by stressing
that the statement is explicit that the Lake Oswego City Council has made a decision not
to close the road, and to designate a pathway on Glenmorrie Drive and Old River Road.
Judy Dauble stressed that"closure" could mean a number of things, such as no permanent
closure, whereby, closure could occur at certain times of the day and/or on certain days of
the week, such as weekend closure.
Kelly Atwood stressed that road connection to Lake Oswego was important,especially
because of school bus connection, but that safety issues must be addressed such as some
kind of speed control. Jamie Ellgen stated that speed is a major problem on the road
because of its physical characteristics. When one walks on the road, it seems that cars are
out of place in the environment. She stressed that Old Town Neighborhood's experience
with George Rogers Park is that some kind of traffic control is necessary to ensure that
residents, walkers and automobiles can coexist.
Upon review of the work-program,the groups stressed the need to have factual data,
which it could analyze and make recommendations from. There was discussion of the
various aspects of the Task Force's charge in that qualitative/aesthetic, quality of life, and
technical aspects (road condition, width, traffic control, utility needs etc.) of
accommodating the needs of those who use the road must be addressed. The traffic
problem was one, which involved balancing automobile use with the fact that the street
was a public place--valued for its recreational and scenic characteristics. Especially
important is to be creative and be sensitive to the environment (human-made and natural).
2
• •
There are impacts that are both internal and external to the study area. In terms of traffic
it is important to analyze impacts that are imparted by those who live along the road and
from traffic that is generated from outside the area. The group expressed general
satisfaction with the technical aspects of the work-program. Also,the group desired that
traffic analysis be done over time, such as over a period of several months, during
different times of the week and day. However, it was stressed that the technical analysis
not be done in the abstract. The information should be tied to an actual understanding of
the physical characteristics of the road. Members were urged to actually spend some time
walking along Old River Road.
Staff indicated that they would assemble the necessary information into a report format.
Much of the information existed. However,the past methodology of collecting past
traffic information was questioned by some of those present. Staff stressed that veracity
of conclusions based on technical analysis was essential and that the methodology of
collecting information would be open to review by the Task Force and others.
General community meetings were discussed, Their were questions as to what these
entailed and how would notice be provided to the community. Staff indicated that the
notice area including Old Town, Glenmorrie, Old River Woods Homeowners was not that
large and it would be possible to develop an information flyer and send this material in
advance of a general meeting to property owners. In addition, newspaper display ads,
city newsletters, mailed notices to Neighborhood Association Chairs, would be used.
It was stressed that the charge to the group goes far beyond providing solutions to traffic
problems. These other issues must be addressed as well. For example there are issues
inherent in the number of regulatory agencies that are involved in managing the
Willamette River and its environs. The group asked for a summary of these agencies and
their responsibilities. It was pointed out that east bank of the river up to and perhaps
beyond the road was in the Willamette Greenway. Also, this area is within the
floodway/floodplain. These mean that the Oregon State Parks, LCDC, the Army Corps
of Engineers and the Oregon Division of State Lands all have an interest in the
Willamette River. The members also asked that information pertaining to funding
sources be provided. There was a suggestion that a slide show of traffic calming ideas be
presented.
It was recognized that at the next meeting not all the necessary background information
could be collected. Staff was asked to collect all the information that it could for review
at this meeting. Additional meeting(s) would be necessary to go through the remainder of
the data and research materials and to ensure it was packaged appropriately.
The importance of an effective community outreach program was stressed. However, the
need to ensure effective communication from the public must be balanced with the need
to ensure that the task force meetings are efficient. The best use of the member's
valuable time must be assured. It was stated that a specific time must be on the agenda--
at the end of the meeting, for public comment. However that time should be limited.
3
.
• •
Two minutes per person was used as an example with a total of 10 to 15 minutes per
meeting allowed for public input. Persons should not have to wait until the end of the
meeting, if they had pressing business elsewhere. In this instance, it was discussed that a
short opportunity, such as five minutes, should be provided at the beginning of the
meetings for comment.
Gloria Benece stated that in her conversations with staff, she was assured that there
would be an opportunity to participate in the process. It was important for the Task Force
to consider that one of its objectives should be to ensure a continued quality of life for
residents who live along the road. She wanted to go on record as stating that the residents
and property owners along Old River Road had asked the City Manager and Mayor to
include one of them on the Committee. This was viewed as only fair, since:
• Any actions that occur along Old River Road would most significantly affect those
who live along the road, and
• The City of West Linn is represented by both a neighborhood association,
(Robinwood) and a homeowner's association(Old River Woods). The home owners
association is is comprised of property owners who live in close proximity to Old
River Road. Old River Road residents should have the same consideration.
Jerry Lublink pointed out that there are other issues that affect residents along Old River
Road, such as the sewer overflows that happen during rainstorms--possibly as a result of
undersized pipes and an inadequate pump station.
The task force agreed that the community and especially residents should be involved as
much as possible and in view of the current committee structure, additional meetings
such as"listening posts."could be used to gain valuable citizen input into the process.
Not all of the committee members would have to attend these extra meetings -- only those
with schedules that allowed it. The public should be encouraged to put their comments
and issues in writing and technical questions should be directed to staff.
It was determined necessary to develop a list of agency and government contacts. This
would be valuable in identifying possible funding sources. Oregon's salmon restoration
plan was used as an example. Other stakeholders identified as necessary to keep
informed included private utilities and garbage service. The group asked that the West
Linn City Council, City Manager and the Public Works Director be kept informed of its
work. In addition, it was stressed that the West Linn Transportation Board and the
Committees which were working on its Transportation System Plan(TSP) and
Comprehensive Plan be kept informed.
There was no further businesses and the meeting was adjourned at 8:15 p.m.

Adopted Council Comprehensive Plan Transportation Chapter
MAJOR STREETS SYSTEM
GOAL 1: Lake Oswego shall develop a major street system consisting of
major and minor arterials and major collectors, which will have
minimal impact on the City's air quality, address the mobility
needs of residents for all modes of travel and promote energy
conservation(See Figures 16 and 17).
POLICIES:
1. The arterial and major collector street network shall be designed and
maintained to, service level"lDL"E" during peak hours. The design of
the roadway system shall also take into consideration: moderate
a) Balancing roadway size and scale with the need to provide
efficient and safe transportation for all modes of travel,
including bike, pedestrian and transit,
bZ Giving preference to transportation projects that increase the
efficiency, safety, design capacity or level of service of a
transportation facility,without increasing corridor width, and
c) Preserving community aesthetics by considering existing
topography and vegetation.
2. Direct access onto major streets shall be controlled and consolidated over
time through the development review process and the implementation of
major street projects. In particular, access to state highways shall be
reviewed subject to the regulations of the Oregon Department of
Transportation and the City of Lake Oswego. Where regulations conflict,
the more restrictive requirements shall apply.
3. The major streets system shall consist of freeways, major and minor
arterials and major collectors as described in Appendices A & B. The
maximum number of lanes for major streets within the Lake Oswego
Urban Services Boundary shall be as follows:
a. Freeways -- four to eight lanes.
b. Major arterials-- three to five lanes.
c. Minor arterials -- two to four lanes.
d. Major collectors -- two lanes.
4. Where residential neighborhoods are bisected by existing major streets,
the impacts of traffic -- noise, safety, aesthetics and air quality -- shall be
minimized by the following actions:
Page 1 of 21
EXHIBIT A
PA 7-97 Findings
Adopted Council Comprehensive Plan Transportation Chapter
a. Where feasible,traffic generated by new development, shall be
routed to other available major streets that are not within or
adjacent to residential uses.
b. Ensure that traffic generated by new land uses does not exceed the
design capacity of the street system, or adversely affect adjoining
neighborhoods.
c. Provision of safe and efficient bicycle and pedestrian
improvements to connect residential areas to other areas of the
community.
d. Measures to physically re-orient residential areas away from major
streets. This may include installation of major landscape elements
such as landscaped buffers and tree plantings, and the development
of neighborhood activity centers such as public open spaces, parks
and community centers.

GLENMORRIE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION
August 15, 1998
City of Lake Oswego
Design Review Commission
Mr. Douglas Cushing, Chairman
Dear Mr. Cushing and Commissioners:
The Glenmorrie Neighborhood Association (GNA) enjoys being one of only two
neighborhood associations in Lake Oswego bounded by both park and riverfront.
This makes our neighborhood distinctively livable and a destination point for
people from within and without our city. It is for this reason that we have come
together, united in our commitment to preserve and protect a most valuable
asset: the Willamette River (recently designated an American Heritage River)
green way along Old River Road.
Long recognized as an asset to our community, and widely used by pedestrians
of all ages in every mode of non-motorized transportation, this area requires
immediate action to secure its place in the future of our community.
We propose Old River Road be closed to motorized vehicular traffic at the
boundary between Lake Oswego and West Linn. The few residents who must
access their property along the most northerly section of Old River Road and
who own the property along the riverfront re in full support of this closure. Motor
vehicle traffic will be limited to their ingress and egress, assuring the ultimate
safety for pedestrians.
In essence the City of Lake Oswego will gain an immediate pedestrian pathway
without bearing the expense and effort of other proposed plans. Rather,
improvements may be made to landscaping and installing benches, which any
walker will tell you, is tar more desirable than more asphalt, more concrete, more
altering the natural selling. Removing this proposed project for off road
pathways from the transportation plan and transferring it to a parks plan will also
demonstrate the commitment of the City of Lake Oswego to the designation of
the Willamette River as an 'American Heritage River.
Quoting from the Lake Oswego Review issue of August 6, 1998 "The goal of the
American Rivers Heritage Initiative is to support communities in locally based
efforts to restore and protect rivers."
The creation of off road pathways on Old River Road will to nothing to support
this goal and will in fact do the opposite. It is difficult to imagine the removal of
natural vegetation, additional excavation, and the creation of more impervious
surfaces by the addition of asphalt will in any way support efforts to restore and
protect our river,

GLENMO:RRIE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION
For these reasons, the GNA opposes the creation of a off-road pathway on Old
River Road I Glenmorrie Road as proposed in the City of Lake Oswego
Transportation Systern Plan PA 7-97 P-18, Ten Year Plan. Obliging the
developers of Mary's Woods to create an off road pathway on the section of Old
River Road will be counter to the efforts of the GNA and the American Rivers
Heritage Initiative and to the clearly expressed wishes of the residents of Old
River Road.
The closing of Old River Road is an immediately available alternative to off road
pathways at a considerable savings to the City of Lake Oswego, will promote the
beautification of our city, and herald our community as leaders in the restoration
and protection of our American Heritage River.
In closing, we believe this action will bring a welcome round of applause by
Oswegians citywide and remind us that sometimes the best solution is the most
simple.

Goal 15 Willamette River Greenway
❑ Goal 15: Willamette River Greenway
BACKGROUND
Statewide Planning Goal 15: Willamette River Greenway
"To protect, conserve, enhance and maintain the natural, scenic, historical, agricultural, economic
and recreational qualities of lands along the Willamette River as the Willamette River Greenway."
The Willamette River Greenway is a valuable natural asset of the City of Lake Oswego and the State of
Oregon. The first suggestion that the Willamette River be somehow protected from becoming a heavily
developed urban corridor,was broached in the late 1960's. Several bills relating to the protection of the
River were enacted by the State Legislature. The Willamette River Greenway was finally created in
1973 with the enactment of House Bill 2497(ORS 390.310-368). Statewide Planning Goal 15,Willamette
River Greenway, sets forth the overall framework within which state and local governments carry out
protection and enhancement of the Greenway,including its natural, scenic,historical,agricultural,eco-
nomic and recreational qualities. The Greenway boundary includes all lands within 150' of ordinary low
water.
The City received Land Conservation and Development approval of its Greenway goals and policies and
Zoning Code Greenway Management Overlay in 1984. Goal 15 requires localities to adopt Greenway
boundaries,specify uses permitted within those boundaries,indicate areas of potential acquisition along
the Greenway and adopt provisions,by ordinance,requiring a compatibility review permit for any inten-
sification, change of use or development within the Greenway boundaries. The City's Greenway Man-
agement Overlay provides design review procedures for any of these activities in the Greenway.
One of the features of the Greenway law,is that the Oregon Department of Transportation, State Parks
Division, may determine sites appropriate for purchase. The State has identified a nine acre natural
feature with scenic, natural, and recreational qualities for future acquisition at the confluence of the
Willamette River and Tryon Creek. This property is currently within Clackamas County and within the
City's Urban Service Boundary. Since this property is adjacent to Tryon Creek State Park,it has poten-
tial for connecting public land with a recreational trail that would reach the Willamette River.
On the Lake Oswego Comprehensive Plan Map, Greenway boundaries are 150 feet from ordinary low
water (see Comprehensive Plan Map, rear cover pocket), except where they widen to include Roehr
Park and George Rogers Park, which are City owned properties. In Lake Oswego, the largest portion
of the Greenway contains residential uses. Commercial, recreation and public uses, such as the Tryon
Creek Sewage Treatment Plant, are also present.
GOAL 15 WILLAMETTE RIVER GREENWAY 215
Goal 15 Willamette River Greenway
❑ Goal 15: Willamette River Greenway
Beginning in 1993, the City participated in the Willamette River Corridor Coordination Plan. This
project will result in a coordinated, regional vision and management plan for the River between the
Multnomah/Clackamas County line and the Willamette Falls dam, and is scheduled for completion in
1994-95.
Summary Of Major Issues
The following are some of the issues, changed circumstances and conditions which were considered in
the update of this chapter of the Comprehensive Plan:
• The City participated in the Willamette River Corridor Plan wherein several jurisdictions devel-
oped a coordinated,regional vision for the portion of the river lying within the Clackamas County
urban area.
• Since the Willamette River Greenway was created in 1973, there has been a recognition that
limiting water pollutants through surface water management is important for the health of the
Willamette River and its tributaries. In 1991, the City adopted a Surface Water Management
Plan to enhance water quality within the City's USB. This chapter recognizes this with the
inclusion of surface water policies.
GOALS, POLICES AND RECOMMENDED ACTION MEASURES
GOAL
The City shall protect, conserve, enhance and maintain the natural, scenic, historic, economic,
and recreational qualities of the Willamette River Greenway.
POLICIES
1. Designate the Willamette Greenway Boundary on the City's Comprehensive Plan Map (See rear
cover pocket), consistent with the location established by the Oregon Land Conservation and
Development Commission.

Goal 15 Willamette River Green way
❑ Goal 15: Willamette River Greenway
2. Require non-water related and non-water dependent structures to be set back from the Willamette
River.
3. Manage lands within and adjacent to the Greenway to protect and restore natural vegetation.
4. Protect,enhance,and restore the fish and wildlife habitat values of the Willamette River and the
Greenway.
5. Minimize the visual impact of development on the Willamette River and the Greenway through
measures such as setbacks, height restrictions, building materials and color choices and land-
scape screening.
6. Protect the water quality of the Willamette River by:
a. Regulating development to preven tolutants and soil erosion from entering the River;
state and federal standards, and other require-
ments;Ensuring discharge practices conform
and,
c. Protecting and enhancing the natural functions and values of the ground and surface
water systems which drain into the River.
7. Preserve significant view corridors to the Willamette River.
8. When appropriate, require dedication of public
Greenway and to
the Willamette River, as part of the development review and approval process
9. Designate the Willamette Greenway as Protection Open Space.
RECOMMENDED ACTION MEASURES
i. The Willamette River Greenway Boundary shall include the potential nine acre acquisition site
identified by the Oregon State Parks and Recreation Department at the confluence of the
Willamette River and Tryon Creek.
ii. Coordinate Greenway planning activities with Clackamas County,the Oregon State Parks and
Recreation Department and other responsible jurisdictions and governmental agencies.
iii. Acquire land and easements to protect the Greenway's natural resources and provide for con-
tinuous public access along, and to,the River.

OLD RIVER ROAD TASK FORCE
Property Owner Meeting
February 16, 1999
ATTENDANCE:
Residents, Property Owners and Property Owner Representatives: Jerry Lublink,
Nancy Winbigler, Teddy Hendershot,Bob Howell, Kris Howell, Barry Mount, Donna
Zajonc, C.C. Dawell, Karen Porn, Dick Porn, Leslie Lublink, Jerry Lublink, Rick
Jacobson, John Handy, Gloria Benci,David Bartz, John Panichello, Priscilla Panichello,
Task Force Members: Judy Dauble, Stan Ashennbrenner, Sister Eileen Brown, and
Mike Anderson
Staff: Ron Bunch, City of Lake Oswego, David Ausherman, Fregonese-Calthorpe
Sister Eileen and Mike Anderson, Co-Chairs introduced the purpose of the meeting as a
listening effort by the Old River Road Ad-hoc Task Force. It is intended that there will
be more of these meetings to gain input and provide information to those affected by and
interested in the project. The Task Force has been charged with developing an
improvement plan by the Lake Oswego City Council for Old River Road per the
Council's charge statement.
Introductions followed, with a statement of interest by those intending. In general the
speed and amount of traffic with attendant safety problems on Old River Road was
identified as a major problem. Many of those in attendance expressed concern about
future design impacts on their properties. There was a general desire expressed to
maintain the scenic and natural resource character of the road. It seemed to many in
attendance that the amount of traffic on the road was at odds with the roads beautiful
location and large number of recreational users.
Ron Bunch, Long Range Planning Manager with Lake Oswego discussed the history and
background of the project. He related that the City had initially proposed a wide (8-10)
foot path on the east side (river side)of the road in 1992 which had been soundly opposed
by the residents because of its potential to increase the speed of traffic, impact the natural
environment and affect the general character of the area. More recently (October, 1998)
Glenmorrie residents had petitioned the City Council to close the road to through traffic
at the West Linn City limits. This proposal engendered opposition from residents in
West Linn who use the road for access to Lake Oswego and whose children ride the
school bus on the road. The City Council's policy is not to close roads. However, the
Council recognized the need to address the problems encountered by those that use the
road and live along it. Also, the Council recognizes the unique quality of the road and its
setting relating to recreational use, natural resources and scenic value. Consequently, the
005 '
2. Too many and too fast cars create a noisy and dangerous situation and detract from
the road's positive qualities. This results in"anxiety, fear, and anger. This diminishes
significantly the quality of life for users of the road and those who live along it. The
road is being used, and will be increasingly used, by those wishing to avoid the
growing congestion of Highway 43.
3. Past planning efforts have attempted to manage people instead of traffic.
4. Most of the traffic that uses the road is not generated locally. Much of its comes from
West Linn. Through(cut-through) traffic is a significant problem.
5. Many wild animals and pets have been killed on the road.
6. Fear for the safety of children both by the residents and for those who use the road for
recreational walking and strolling.
7. Children (and adults) cannot safely walk or ride bikes to George Rogers Park. The
Glenmorrie Drive connection is treacherous.
8. Partying and drinking, especially at the corner where Glenmorrie Road and Old River
Road meet and on property owned'by the Sisters of the Holy Names. During
discussion of this issue it was stated that a home had been burglarized by persons who
used this location to park and walk to the victim's house.
9. Trespass, especially on the Sister's of the Holy Names property.
10. Littering, dumping of garbage and occasional vapdalism of riverside properties
especially of maiUpaper boxes.
11. The ugly condition of the City's sewage pumping station at Glenmorrie and Old River
Road.
12. Late night speeding and drunken drivers. The non-:patrolled road is used to avoid the
possibility of being pulled over on Highway 43.
13. Road design is an inherent problem. A potentially lethal situation exists at the hairpin
corner where Glenmorrie Drive and Old River Road meet for motorists, bikers and
pedestrians. Drivers do not slow down at this location and there have been many
wrecks. The guardrail at this location has been compromised. The way that the trail
from George Rogers Park intersects Glenmorrie Drive poses a hazardous situation by
exposing pedestrians and bikers to speeding cars, especially those who lose control on
the corner. It should be noted that many wrecks do not show up in the police reports
because of the degree of damage done and many persons do not want to face the
police.
60 i 3
beginning at 10:00 p.m. such as is done for parks. The road could also be periodically
closed for special walking (Volkswalking) and recreation events.
7. Through-traffic should be discouraged by traffic management devices and encouraged
to use Highway 43. Use of the road by cars should be made more complex. Now it is
just a"straight-shot" that encourages speeding.
• 8. Landscaping, and natural resource enhancement of the Willamette River Greenway.
Creation of a sense of narrowness along the road,through tree planting where
possible should be considered.
9. The road should not be widened by the construction of wide pathway as was proposed
before. If a pathway is necessary,then it should be narrower than previous proposals.
There was also discussion as to whether a pathway was necessary if the road
appropriately managed.
10. A neighborhood park is needed along the road for residents and others to use. There
needs to be place to go to, stop, rest, and picnic, view the river, etc. If the road is
developed more as recreational resource, there should be a beginning and a
destination to one's experience. Signage, especially "local traffic only", is needed to
let all users know that they are entering a special area..
11. Enforcement of traffic laws.
12. Traffic management is needed at the corner of Glenmorrie Drive and Old River Road.
Cars should not be allowed to park at the corner. Area lighting is needed at the
corner. Parking by private automobiles along the road, other than by service vehicles
should be prevented.
13. Those using Old River Road, walkers, bicyclists and especially cars, must realize that
they in a recreation/walking zone. Drivers must moderate their behavior to take this
into account.
14. Find examples of where this type of situation has been positively addressed
elsewhere. Examples must exist where recreational walkers, sight-seers, cyclists and
automobiles and adjoining private property interests have been accommodated and
made more compatible than exists in this situation. Washington Park in Portland
might be an example.
15. Long term management of the road must involve a partnership between the
residents/property owners, Glenmorrie neighborhood and the City. Planning efforts
such as this one must involve direct representation by those who live and own
property along the road.
Meeting Summary and Discussion:
00 : 5
stressed that property owners on Glenmorrie Drive and Stonebridge Way not be left out
of this process. Future meetings could involve these persons.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:45 p.m.

OLD RIVER ROAD AD-HOC TASK FORCE
FINDINGS,DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS TO
GUIDE IMPROVMENTS TO OLD RIVER ROAD AND GLENMORRIE DRIVE
CATEGORY 1: TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT AND SAFETY
FINDING (S):
1. There is the potential for significant and dangerous conflicts between automobiles,
pedestrians and recreational users of Old River Road.
2. Because of physical constraints, including width of pavement, location of driveways,
proximity to steep banks and the presence of significant trees, a pedestrian pathway
is not, at this time appropriate for Glenmorrie Drive.
3. Once traffic is slowed on Old River by traffic management measures, it should
continued to be slowed on Glenmorrie Drive. The tendency of drivers would be
to increase speed on Glenmorrie Drive if they have been forced to drive slowly
on Old River Road.
DESIGN SOLUTIONS:
4. Install 12 traffic management devices, (seven speed bumps and five pinch points)
along the 4,800 feet of Old River Road from its intersection with Glenmorrie Drive to
the West Linn city limits to ensure vehicle speeds are maintained at 25 M.P.H. or less
on all parts of the road. Traffic management devices should be tested prior to
installation.
5. Install speed bumps where possible on Glenmorrie Drive.
6. Separate vehicular and pedestrian/bike traffic at the intersection of Glenmorrie Drive,
Old River Road and the George Rogers Park trail.
7. Install monument type entry signs at the Lake Oswego/West Linn City limits to
inform people that they are entering a recreational area.
8. The amount of new asphalt should be minimized. A walking pathway is appropriate
only on some sections of the road—one the east side along the Sisters of the Holy
Names and the Marylhurst University property. The walker should have an
opportunity to move out of the traffic lane when necessary along the remaining
portions of the road. This can be accommodated on a three-foot wide gravel shoulder
also on the east side. If it is necessary for pedestrians to cross the road,then the
crossing should occur at pinch points on an elevated"pedestrian table."
9. Pavement management (overlays) and drainage improvements are required in
conjunction with installation of traffic management devices and other improvements
to address pedestrian safety.
10. Tree preservation is essential and where possible, native landscaping particularly, tree
planting should occur within the right-of-way and be sensitive to the views of area
residents and walkers.
11. Fix damaged and deteriorated guard rails and replace where possible with more
aesthetic barriers consistent with the natural character of the area.
MANAGEMENT MEASURES
1. Old River Road and its right-of-way should be designated as recreational resource,
such as a linear walking park and managed to ensure the safety of recreational users
and the quality of life of area residents.
2. A law/regulation enforcement effort and ongoing public safety education effort
should be developed and implemented germane to the road and the types of uses it
receives, especially if it is designated as a recreational resource (linear park).
3. The proposed Traffic Management Devices must be tested thoroughly. A
phased and judicious approach is needed to ensure implementation of the
project is successful. There is not the need to do the whole project at once, but
to do those things that will most improve the safety and comfort of recreational
users, drivers and residents who live along the road.
CATEGORY 2: ENVIRONMENT AND AESTHETICS
FINDING(S)
1. Glenmorrie Drive and especially Old River Road and their right-of-ways exist within
a complex and highly regulated natural environment, which includes the Willamette
River Greenway.
2. Aesthetics and environmental quality are very important to those who live along
these roads and to all other users.
DESIGN SOLUTIONS
1 . Maintain the "country lane quality/rural street quality of the road by ensuring that the
amount of new hard surface (asphalt) for pathways is the minimum necessary to
address the above conflicts between automobiles and other users. Minimize the use
of paint and signage.
1
2. Improve the appearance of the sewer pump station at the intersection of Glenmorrie
and Old River Road.
MANAGEMENT MEASURES
1. Ensure that all future improvements are designed consistent with the City's public
improvement design guidelines and with all applicable City, state and federal
regulations.
2. Work with all property owners, especially the major landholders, Sisters of the Holy
Names and Marylhurst University to enhance the natural resources of the Willamette
River Greenway and protect native plants and wildlife.
3. Enforce the Municipal Code relating to the storage or vehicles, boats and equipment
and other items within the public right-of-way.
4. Educate the public regarding living and recreating within the Willamette River
Greenway.
CATEGORY 3 - RECREATION AND SCENIC QUALITY
FINDING(S)
1 . Provide a park-like experience for walkers with special concern given to
residents/property owners' concerns about congregation and security.
2. The use of Old River Road changes character during different times of the day.
During weekday a.m. and p.m. travel peak it is a potential hazard for pedestrians.
During low traffic times it is a pleasant walking experience.
3. Parts of the right-of-way are also people's yards. Some landscape encroachments
have occurred.
DESIGN SOLUTIONS:
1. Design all improvements and any associated amenities, if possible, to address
neighborhood concerns about congregation and security.
2. Future maintenance and improvements to Old River and Glenmorrie Drive should
seek to minimize disturbance of established yards and landscaping.
3. Do not install streetlights or other lighting along Old River Road.
q
MANAGEMENT MEASURES
1. Many of the same policy and management measures that are applicable to the above
categories are also applicable to Category 3.
CATEGORY 4 - SECURITY
FINDINGS
1. The ability to park on the road's shoulders poses security problems, because of
drinking parties and a few burglaries. This situation also results in littering and
destruction of natural resources because of fires and trampling.
2. In particular, car access to the wide spot at the Glenmorrie/Old River Road
intersection, along the Sisters of the Holy Names property and at the West Linn City
limits are problems.
3. The presence of a large older population at the future Mary's Woods project(Sisters
of the Holy Names) poses special security issues/concerns.
DESIGN SOLUTIONS:
1. Install aesthetic barriers to prevent parking along the road's shoulder in those
locations identified to be problems.
2. Judiciously utilize signage that is aesthetic and creative that states laws are enforced
pertaining to trespass, blocking driveways, dumping garbage, etc.
3. As above, design all improvements and any associated amenities, if possible, to
address neighborhood concerns about congregation and security.
MANAGEMENT MEASURES
1. Involve the neighborhoods in an active program to promote driving safety and to
report any unauthorized access to private property.
2. Enforce the law at every opportunity to address security issues such as trespass.

LAKE OSWEGO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICY REVIEW
The Lake Oswego Comprehensive Plan was reviewed to identify the Ievel of policy
congruence with the proposed traffic management and pathway improvements to Old
River Road and Glenmorrie Drive. Relevant policies were identified and listed. In
summary, the Comprehensive Plan is explicit in its support of the development of
pathways and installation of traffic management devices on local residential streets.
However, for the purposes of this planning effort, reference to the Comprehensive Plan
represents the City's philosophy in these matters. Because, proposed improvements to
Old River are not part of a land use action, the Plan cannot be applied in a legal sense.
Goal 8,Parks and Recreation
Policy 7. Plan and develop a system of pathways, which can connect open space
and park facilities with neighborhoods.
Policy 13. Integrate open space, pathways and view corridors, with park land and
facilities.
Goal 12,Transportation
Section III. Neighborhood Collectors and Local Residential Streets
Policy I. The primary function of local residential streets and neighborhood
collectors is to serve the circulation and access needs of residents adjacent
to and abutting these streets. Neighborhood collectors will serve to
channel local traffic to the major streets system. Through traffic (auto
trips which have neither trip end within the neighborhood association
boundary) on these streets shall be discouraged.
Policy 2. The City shall, in conjunction with the neighborhood association, plan for,
develop and maintain a local residential street system at a service level and
scale which:
a) Recognizes the need for safety for all modes of travel,
b) Recognizes the multi-use functions of neighborhood streets for
walking, bicycling and social interaction, and which preserves the
privacy, quiet and safety of neighborhood living.
c) Provides for safe access to abutting land; and,
d) Allows adequate and safe circulation from residential properties to the
major streets system and neighborhood activity centers.
Policy 4. The City shall utilize flexible design criteria and construction standards for
local residential street and neighborhood collector improvement projects.
Design criteria shall be consistent with the adopted neighborhood plan. In
particular these standards shall promote:
a) Street development which is compatible with the physical and social
characteristics of each neighborhood to promote neighborhood identity
and beauty.
b) The minimum scale of improvements necessary to provide adequate,
but not excessive capacity, required to safely handle automobile traffic
generated by planned land uses.
c) Solutions to storm water problems and surface water management
issues.

public rights-of-ways in residential neighborhoods. Uses within rights-of-
way shall be supportive of the multi-use function of neighborhood streets
and may include:
a) Pedestrian paths and bikeways.
b) Vehicular related uses as on-street parking,transit facilities and
driveways.
c) Urban design,public utility, safety and beautification elements such as
street trees, public seating, street lights, wheelchair ramps and
sidewalk extensions.
Policy 8. Manage traffic on Neighborhood Collectors and Local Streets according to
the policies established in this chapter. Traffic calming measures should
be used where feasible to encourage non-local traffic to use streets with
higher functional classifications and should not significantly divert traffic
to other nearby streets of the same or lower classification.
Policy 9. Ensure that connectivity of local streets is achieved in order to:
a) reduce excessive trip lengths;
b) efficiently and safely accommodate emergency fire and medical
vehicles
c) promote the use of alternative modes of travel;

RE: Traffic and Other Transportation Mode Counts for Old River Road
DATE: March 23, 1999
As you are aware the City Manager has directed the Planning Division to work with the
Old River Ad-hoc Task Force to develop a plan for Old River Road and Glenmorrie
Drive. Attached is the Council's Charge Statement to the Task Force (Attachment 1).
Essential to an understanding of conditions on the road and for communication to the
neighborhood is additional information regarding use of the roads. This information will
also be used to propose traffic management solutions to pedestrian and vehicular conflicts
and align a multi-purpose pathway. We have discussed this with Mark Schoening, City
Engineer and he directed us to make arrangements with you for needed traffic counts,
speed studies and counts of recreational users of the road.
We currently have traffic data from April, 1998 from two locations— 18160 n/o
Riverwoods Place and 16500 at Glenmorrie Drive (Attachment 2). New counts at these
locations and at two or three additional locations, especially speed studies, may be
necessary along the "straight-away"portions of Old River Road between points 2 and 4
on the attached map (Figure 1). These should be 24 hour counts and take place mid-week
and on Saturday and Sunday. In addition, we would like to understand more fully the
recreational use of the road. Neighborhood residents conducted their own survey of
recreational walkers and bicyclists (Attachment 3). We need to do the same under the
same conditions. Therefore; our traffic consultant should at some time in the near future
choose a pleasant spring day on a weekend and do a daytime count of non-vehicular
users. Ideally, a vehicular traffic count and speed study should also be done on the same
day.
Traffic Counts on Glenmorrie Drive are also necessary. One set of counts mid-way
between the intersection of Glenmorrie/Highway 43 would likely suffice.
11.
We need three things from you at this time.
• Your professional opinion of the above strategy and any changes that you think
would be necessary to provide more of an understanding of speeds, traffic volumes
and recreational usage;
• Cost estimate of the work. This is needed because the City Manager must approve
the work and assign an account number, and;
• I need to discuss with you issues and problems associated with traffic safety on
Glenmorrie Drive.
Thank you!

To: Ron Bunch,Long Range Planning Manager
From: Jerry King,Chief of Survey
Subject: Old River Road right-of-way
Date: March 19, 1999
As you know by now,the establishment, location and width of Old River Road is a complicated issue. Based
upon an examination of the two letters from C. C. Dawell and numerous records of the Clackamas County
Surveyor's office I have made the following findings.
In 1871, County Road#46 was established in roughly the same location as today's Old River Road and was
declared to be 30 feet in width. It is probable the course of this road followed an existing and undedicated
roadway known as the"Oregon City—Oswego Road."
In 1884, County Road#229 was also established as a 30 foot wide road again in a similar yet not identical
location as County Road#46.
On November 8, 1913,County Road#842 known as Henry Gans Road was established because, "none of said
roads are definitely and satisfactorily surveyed, and it is not desirable to have more than one road,...."
Therefore it was the stated purpose of County Road#842 to vacate those portions of County Roads #46&
#229 which lay outside the bounds of the newly created County Road#842. Following the correction of
several clerical errors County Road#842 was officially created on January 8, 1914 with no width stated.
Oregon law from 1889 to 1931 stated that when a county road is created without a listed width the default
width shall be 60 feet.
Conclusions:
There is only one county road that follows the bank of the Willamette River in this vicinity and it is County
Road#842, Henry Gans Road, which was later renamed S. Old River Drive and is now known as Old River
Road.
The width of this road is 60 feet.
The exact location on the ground of this road would be fairly difficult to determine. The beginning point for
the road is in George Rogers Park and follows 26 courses of angles and distances for 1.73 miles to a point
along the north edge of West Linn. Over the past 80 years many private surveyors have attempted to locate
and monument this right-of-way for various clients. Their recorded surveys and set monuments are our best
guide as to where the right-of-way is located. Each of these surveys takes a localized piecemeal approach to
laying out the right-of-way and an overall view of all these private surveys over the entire corridor may show
disagreements from the intent of the original establishment survey. To arrive at an unimpeachable
determination of the right-of-way would be very expensive,.time consuming and outside the scope of in-house
surveying forces.
I .
In the matter of definitely

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DESIGN GUIDELINES
Introduction
Public improvements constructed by the City become permanent fixtures/
in the community's visual setting. Their design can contribute or detract
from the community's quality of life depending on whether they
complement or clash with the natural and built environment.
Through its land use and aevelopment l eguiation.6, the City ha :,et
standards for excellence in the design and construction of private
development. These same standards also apply to public improvements.
The City however, should strive to set an example and endeavor to
include design elements that exceed the minimum requirements of the
development code when public improvements are designed.
The following guidelines for the design of public improvements shall be
considered and incorporated' into the construction plans for public
improvements to the maximum extent practicable.
Design Guidelines
1. Avoid, if possible, and minimize destruction or loss of natural
resources including open space, stream corridors, trees, and
wetlands.
2. Plan for the restoration and/or mitigation of natural resources that
have been impacted or removed by construction through extensive
replanting of native plant materials.
3. Identify opportunities to enhance natural resource areas and wildlife
habitat that may be in the vicinity of proposed public improvements.
Z(.
4. Incorporate landscaped areas in the design of public improvements
and ensure that provisions are made for irrigation and maintenance.
5. Identify opportunities to supplement the urban forest with trees that
will grow to a significant size in appropriate locations as part of
public improvements.
6. Incorporate pedestrian, bicycle, and transit facilities in the design of
public improvements wherever appropriate.
7. Determine whether lighting is appropriate for installation as part of a
public improvement and if so, evaluate alternative fixture designs,
colors, and types of illumination and levels to complement the
surrounding area.
8. Utilize natural construction materials such as timbers, simulated
wood or rock whenever possible and utilize natural colors to lessen
the visual impact of concrete and metal.
9. Wherever possible design public improvements and associated
landscaping in ways that create visual interest and an inviting
human environment through the creative use of materials and
variation in shapes and forms.
10. Coordinate the design of public improvements with other affected
public agencies and private property owners.

Attachment G-5: One Lane Queuing(Pinch Point)Traffic Calming Device-Plan View— These
traffic calming devices would be located at approximately 1,000' intervals along Old River Road
beginning at the South End(West Linn). The exact placement would correspond to natural"pinch"
points where there would be inadequate room to meander the path away from the road. Other
locational considerations would include location of driveways,school bus stops,and sight-distance.
Between the"pinch-points" it is proposed to construct speed bumps to encourage low traffic speeds.

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DESIGN GUIDELINES
Introduction
Public improvements constructed by the City become permanent fixtures/
in the community's visual setting. Their design can contribute or detract
from the community's quality of life depending on whether they
complement or clash with the natural and built environment.
Through its land use and development .ceguiaiiuns, the City ha:; act
standards for excellence in the design and construction of private
development. These same standards also apply to public improvements.
The City however, should strive to set an example and endeavor to
include design elements that exceed the minimum requirements of the
development code when public improvements are designed.
The following guidelines for the design of public improvements shall be
considered and incorporated' into the construction plans for public
improvements to the maximum extent practicable.
Design Guidelines
1. Avoid, if possible, and minimize destruction or loss of natural
resources including open space, stream corridors, trees, and
wetlands.
2. Plan for the restoration and/or mitigation of natural resources that
have been impacted or removed by construction through extensive
replanting of native plant materials.
3. Identify opportunities to enhance natural resource areas and wildlife
habitat that may be in the vicinity of proposed public improvements.
ZL.
4. Incorporate landscaped areas in the design of public improvements
and ensure that provisions are made for irrigation and maintenance.
5. Identify opportunities to supplement the urban forest with trees that
will grow to a significant size in appropriate locations as part of
public improvements.
6. Incorporate pedestrian, bicycle, and transit facilities in the design of
public improvements wherever appropriate.
7. Determine whether lighting is appropriate for installation as part of a
public improvement and if so, evaluate alternative fixture designs,
colors, and types of illumination and levels to complement the
surrounding area.
8. Utilize natural construction materials such as timbers, simulated
wood or rock whenever possible and utilize natural colors to lessen
the visual impact of concrete and metal.
9. Wherever possible design public improvements and associated
landscaping in ways that create visual interest and an inviting
human environment through the creative use of materials and
variation in shapes and forms.
10. Coordinate the design of public improvements with other affected
public agencies and private property owners.
